Support local audio files #3
Comments
This is the main problem when I started to make this project: whether to import local media files to the library or not? Currently, I don't plan to introduce this feature for these aspects below.
In conclusion, the goal of this app is to provide a free streaming service with downloadable contents. There are features like exporting songs through Android SAF planned to be implemented to enhance convenience. |
So, can you implement YouTube music folder/tab which contains playlist or songs on the website/app? As this feature can give some recommendations to play songs else (currently)it seems to remember the songs /artist title and search the result and enjoy the song. |
Yes, I'm planning to do so, but it can take a considerable amount of time since NewPipeExtractor doesn't provide the YouTube Music kiosk extractor. Now the explore tab in the app is lack of content and recommendations are expected to be put there. There are some libraries regarding YouTube Music API written in python, and I'll dig into them and try to implement the feature in Kotlin. |
As #43 has a more descriptive title, I'll close this one. |
There's some songs that aren't available on YT Music or YouTube that are available on other platforms. An example of this would be songs from the album Pebble Brain by Lovejoy.
Most popular streaming services allow you to import local songs. I know for a fact that both Spotify, YT Music, and Deezer allow this, and I'm pretty sure others do too.
Why not have a separate section for local music? YT Music does this, for example.
That should be up to the user to get proper metadata for their files. This would affect any local music player as well, if the songs weren't tagged properly. Optionally, you could provide a tag editor, though that probably isn't necessary for a streaming app such as this.
Maybe you can mark the local songs as downloaded? As for delete, I think the delete option for local songs should delete the song file from the device. I think Retro Music does this. Otherwise, you can leave it up to the user to delete the song file manually, like how Auxio does.
Probably should be up to the user to not have duplicates in their library. If you want, you can add a source tag for each song, if it came from local storage or from YT Music.
We could, but one of the benefits of using this app is that I can stream and not have to carry around gigabytes of music files to every device I use, and I can add and remove songs quickly without having to delete the music file, and download new music and then transfer it to my phone. |
Okay, you convinced me that local audio files should be supported. I'll reopen this issue. |
Not planned because it's too "advanced". |
Local music player support for any audio files saved in the phone.
